at the beginning of each chapter i'll select a suitable song that you can listen to, hopefully to help the mood and atmosphere because my writing may lack it at points.

——————————————————————————

Tommy's eyes flutter with tiredness, as the vibrant colours on the monitor glare back at him. The nostalgic C418 music plays through the headset covering his ears, as his avatar stands completely still in the inside of his home.

Tommy has been playing Minecraft for half of his natural life - he picked up the game for Xbox 360 at Asda in 2013, and many years later he continues to be obsessed with the franchise. Despite all of the new updates and the many switches in platforms, nothing makes him feel more at peace and protected than the classic C418 soundtracks.

Dry Hands is playing now; the song that seems to play out of nowhere several times during each play session. It brings back floods of memories to a much younger Tommy sitting on the carpet of his bedroom, equipped with a white Xbox 360 controller and £10 headset. He would excitedly talk into the attached microphone to the 6 or so friends he'd made online in an Xbox Live party, building an entire town with them and laughing at the nonsensical jokes they'd make.

Younger Tommy was mesmerised by the idea of Minecraft, while current Tommy holds a strong emotional attachment to the game even after so many years.

He allows the music to swash around inside his brain. Each piano note communicates to him on a much different level than any other music ever could. Of course Tommy continues to appreciate music on Spotify from more modern artists, but if he had to listen to one album for the rest of his life he would choose Minecraft Volume Alpha by C418 in a heartbeat.

Tommy picks up his phone from the desk, which has been placed face-down for the entirety of his time playing. He doesn't like having the peace disturbed when playing Minecraft; besides, it's not like anybody would text him anyway.

The time on the lockscreen reads 11:28pm. Maybe I should log off now, Tommy thinks. He presses the esc key and brings up the pause menu on the screen. But just as he goes to put his phone back down again and shut off Minecraft for the night, a notification appears from the Discord app.

Tubbo: Hi!! :D

Tommy finds himself smiling. He feels guilty about always letting Tubbo make the first move, but it hasn't quite sunk in just yet that somebody actually cares enough to message him first and put in some effort to stay in contact out of school hours.

He tabs out of Minecraft and opens up Discord on his computer, then begins to type:

TommyInnit: Hey dude, what's up?

Tubbo: Nothing muchhh, wbu?

TommyInnit: Yea not much either
TommyInnit: Just playing some Minecraft

Tubbo: Ooh I love that game!!

TommyInnit: Really? How long've you been playing it for?

Tubbo: Since I was about 7? Got it for Christmas one year and I haven't stopped playing since

TommyInnit: Same :)
